It appears to be a lot slower than under Windoze. USB 2.0 port and device - SANDisk 8GB memory key - formatted FAT32 - could it be the FAT32 driver that is slow rather than the USB driver ?? Read speed "seems" about the same on both platforms - it's just the write speed - especially on larger files/ -- Cheers/2 Ed eComStationAustralia podcast RSS feed http://eComStationAustralia.podbean dot com/feed or iTunes -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG === **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 07:56:57 +0800 Subject: Re: Slow writing to USB 2.0 [attachments have been removed] -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG === **= Email 3 ==========================** Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 13:21:59 +1100 From: Ed Durrant Subject: Re: Slow writing to USB 2.0 - wrote: > [attachments have been removed] > -------------------------------------------------- > > http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG === > > As you will see (whoever sent this) - we got nothing as attachments are dropped on this list. -- Cheers/2 Ed eComStationAustralia podcast RSS feed http://eComStationAustralia.podbean dot com/feed or iTunes -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG === **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 14:52:37 +1100 (EDT) From: "Ian Manners" Subject: Re: Slow writing to USB 2.0 Hi Ed (and everyone else) >As you will see (whoever sent this) - we got nothing as attachments are >dropped on this list. The email from google also lacked a From: so I'm not even sure how it got through to the list ! Googlemail seems to be having problems the past week. Yahoo mail has also had a problem the past month.

There are large parts of USA, Europe, China, Russia, India, Africa, etc which have been banned in the firewall here for a while, and over the past 2-3 months I've been busy adding on average 2 C class IP ranges per day. This is becoming to time consuming this year trying to maintain a balance between those people that do the right thing, and those people that simply dont care as long as they get what they want. I have almost reached my data quote so os2site dot com will be remaining off site now until the new year so that my other hosted bits can work as normal. Otherwise I'm up for a lot of excess usage payments. What I will look at doing, when I get around to it, is to allow access for people that ask me so that I can issue them a username and password.

I can explain that part. The check to see whether the sender is a legitimate list member is done on the address in the SMTP command "MAIL FROM:" rather than on the "From:" header line. The reasoning here is that, although spammers can fake either address, there's a much higher probability that a spammer will fake the "From:". -- Peter Moylan peter at pmoylan dot org http://www.pmoylan dot org -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG === **= Email 7 ==========================** Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:25:55 +1100 From: Ed Durrant Subject: Re: os2site dot com Ian Manners wrote: > I have taken os2site dot com offline as someone is mirroring the > website, with a current browser UA's (Internet Explorer for Win, > and Firefox for OS/2), using a different IP address in different > countries, every few hours. > > There are large parts of USA, Europe, China, Russia, India, Africa, > etc which have been banned in the firewall here for a while, and > over the past 2-3 months I've been busy adding on average 2 > C class IP ranges per day.

Perhaps supporting transfer only via a HTTP access from a "portal" on your website, that would only let someone download one file at a time could be an approach - a "door keeper" if you like. Probably turn off FTP straight away. Can you tell if the sites that are accessing are using HTTP or FTP ? -- Cheers/2 Ed eComStationAustralia podcast RSS feed http://eComStationAustralia.podbean dot com/feed or iTunes -------------------------------------------------- http://www./melbpc/ - The Melbourne OS/2 SIG ===
